    If Larry Walker married Walker Buehler, then he’d be Larry Buehler.

    And if Walker Buehler married Larry Walker he would be Walker Walker.

    Bonds better than Walker?!?! He’s lost it.

    Bonds literally has more than DOUBLE the career WAR than Walker. And Walker played at Coors. That's just asinine

    Yeah, Walker didn't need drugs to have high tier performance. Walker's head isn't the size of a small car, because again, he didn't use drugs.

    You can worship drug addicts, they need fans too, but for the rest of us, we will support those who do things the right way (Sorry Astro fans)

    Lmao if you’re arguing that Walker is better than Bonds you lose any credibility you ever had. Bonds is the best player to ever play the sport.

    Imagine people saying that about Altuve, but you won't, because Altuve had a trash can. But you support a guy that used illegal drugs for half his career. Find your priorities, think about what your saying, edit the comment, and we will visit this again in the future.

    You must not understand they were doing it on purpose to troll you. Lol even said it in the stream... c’mon man.

    You must not understand how to read, I’m not upset it wasn’t a giants player, I wrote about how it was a disservice to walker because they made it look like a giants player who could of been a better player than walker. So in essence they “trolled” people with potential greatness and gave really good, so it was a bit disappointing seeing walker, so it took away from walkers reveal....c’mon man

    It’s called having a bit of fun man, c’mon live a little. I don’t think anybody is disappointed about Larry Walker and the trolling unless you’re just generally miserable.

    This ain’t it chief. We gonna act like 80% of the league wasn’t using during those years? I guarantee there’s a number of players from that timeline that are in the HOF that used as much as Barry. Bonds is only under a microscope because he was easily the most prolific player of those years, and one of the most prolific of all time. Let’s not forget aside from home runs, he had over 500 SB, 3000+ Walks, 7 MVPs, 8 GG. His impact on games went well beyond hitting dingers. He deserves to be in the HOF. And technically never was proved to use, I mean we all know he did but technically speaking lol.

    Bonds had 3 MVPs before leaving the pirates. He's the greatest offensive player to ever play game. Every era had their top players do something to boost their already amazing skills. Everyone was doing what Bonds was at the time. Why aren't there more Bonds type numbers out there?

    Lmao taking the moral high ground won’t benefit you in this argument. What do my priorities have to do with me stating a FACT. Barry is the best player to play the game, look at his numbers before the alleged use, he was well on his way to the Hall. Barry, Sosa and McGwire saved baseball at a time that no one was watching the product. They’re just scapegoated because they’re no longer players but you’re an idiot if you think don’t 90% of the league was using at that time. I could literally go on for days on steroid use in the MLB and the hypocrisy but I’ll spare you. Maybe you need to educate yourself on the actual game before hitting send on stupid comments.

    No sir, that would be Ruth. Higher WAR, slugging, OPS, OPS+, AVE, OBP... nearly every important offensive category.

    Ok maybe I don't fully understand WAR, but wouldn't he have more home runs and doubles, in Coors? So wouldn't that increase his WAR?

    Bonds is hands-down a better player than Larry Walker. They do not have the rights to him though. I am not sure what the Op is talking about with the jumbotron at candlestick. I must have missed whatever that was.

    I agree. The only thing Walker did better than Bonds was throw.
    Bonds had an average arm at best, while Walker had a cannon.
    Everywhere else Bonds was the superior player.

    No, because it accounts for inflation based on ballpark. Similar to what wRC+ does.

    Comparing walker to bonds is stupid...
    It's comparing a great player, and HOFer to literally a top 3 greatest ever player if not greatest ever...

    It's like comparing Vince Carter to Michael Jordan...

    I understand some of it and other things I don't. I guess I'm still a little more traditional or old school.

    To say that Bonds is the best player to ever play the game of baseball is just as ignorant as trying to say that Larry Walker is better then Bonds. Bonds wasn’t as good as his own Godfather for starters. Barry Bonds was a great player and yes he was better then Walker. You talk about credibility then drop a statement like that??? Lmao cmon you’re better then that.

    For me it was the opposite. I saw Oracle park and went "Aw man it's not a Rockie" then saw purple, held my breath, and lost my goddamn mind when they showed Walker.

    Best troll ever by SDS.
